Book ID/图书代码： 06840011B51447
English Summary/英文概要： Tyger, Tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?The author of these muchquoted lines is William Blake, who painted and wrote his marvelous books nearly two hundred years ago. Inspired by Blake’s work, Nancy Willard has written a book of magical poems about life at an imaginary inn, run by none other than William Blake himself.
The inn is staffed by two mighty dragons that brew and bake, two angels that wash and shake the featherbeds, and a rabbit who shows visitors to their rooms. Among the remarkable guests are the Man in the Marmalade Hat, the King of Cats who write his wife not to “grow fat like a common kitchen cat,” and two sunflowers who demand a room with a view.
The flawlessly crafted illustrations by Alice and Martin Provensen and Nancy Willard’s beautiful writing reflect a deep love for William Blake and the London in which he lived. Together, text and illustrations combine to create a onceinalifetime book that will be cherished by readers of all ages.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： William Blake 威廉•布萊克 （1757-1827年），生於倫敦一個襪商之家，是十九世紀英國浪漫派詩人，主要詩作有詩集《天真之歌》、《經驗之歌》等。受到威廉•布萊克所著《Songs of Innocence/天真之歌》和《Songs of Experience/經驗之歌》詩集的啟發，在這部輕鬆的畫冊裡，作者為孩子們呈現了這部生動的，布萊克筆下虛構的客棧和一些不尋常的客人。
老虎，老虎，閃閃發亮
在森林的夜晚
何等不朽的手和眼
造就你那可怕的勻稱外貌？
這些經常引用的威廉•布萊克的行詩，曾在近二百年前，他非凡的書畫中出現。受到布萊克作品的啟發，南茜•威拉德撰寫了這部關於虛構客棧的奇幻詩集，描述的不是別人而正是威廉•布萊克自己的幻想經歷。
客棧内配有兩個泡制和烘烤的巨龍，兩為擔任閒職洗洗涮涮的天使，和引領來訪者去房間的兔子。在這些了不起的賓客中有帶戴橘子醬色帽子的男子，一隻描述自己妻子不像“廚房裡普通貓那樣胖”的貓王，和兩朵要求有景觀房間的向日葵。
艾莉絲完美的精緻插圖，馬丁•普羅富森和南茜•威拉德優美的文筆折反映出作者對威廉•布萊克和他曾就住的倫敦的深情厚愛。再加上，圖文並茂所創造出的這部生動圖書將是所有年齡段讀者的最爱。(Sandy)
